Iran is facing an unprecedented crisis as a severe heatwave pushes temperatures above 50°C, causing widespread water shortages and electricity outages.
Authorities have closed government offices, banks, and businesses in Tehran and several provinces to conserve dwindling resources, while urging citizens to drastically reduce water use. Reservoirs supplying the capital are at their lowest levels in a century, and officials warn that the country could soon face complete water rationing or even a total shortage. The crisis has sparked public outrage and protests, particularly in cities like Sabzevar, where residents are demanding action amid chronic outages.
Experts and citizens blame years of mismanagement, corruption, and climate change for pushing Iran to the brink of environmental collapse.
